Vida Health Communications Wins at 2007 HeSCA Media Festival and CINE Golden Eagle Competitions

(originally posted July 3, 2007)

Vida’s newest DVD series “Promoting Preterm Infant Development,” has won awards at two prestigious film competitions. This DVD series, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, educates staff and parents on the importance of developmentally supportive care for preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Both portions of this media program have been honored at the Health and Science Communications Association Media Festival (HeSCA) as well as the CINE Golden Eagle Film and Video Competitions.

Focus on the Brain, the program designed to educate staff in the NICU about practices of developmentally supportive care, won Gold at the Health and Science Communications Association’s 2007 Media Festival. No Matter How Small, which teaches parents ways in which they can support the development of their preterm infant, was a Silver medal-winner. Judging productions based on innovation, creativity, and educational design, HeSCA awards honors to productions that represent the very best in health sciences media.

Both Focus on the Brain and No Matter How Small were also selected for the CINE Golden Eagle Award. Recognized internationally for its prestigious awards in visual arts, CINE honors excellence in informational and documentary media. Read more about CINE at http://www.cine.org/about-us.php.
